Growing Yucca Aliofolia from Seed

19 years ago

Anyone ever tried growing this yucca (Spanish Bayonet) from seed? I planted some seeds about 19 days ago...still nothing. Seems that all the information I find online regarding germination times are conflicting. I've read of some instances where seeds sprouted in 10 days and others that have taken 12 months.

whew! i hope it doesn't take a year, I'm a little too impatient for that.

I'd appreciate any advice anyone has on raising yucca from seed. This is my first time.

Thanks a bunch!

I grow them all the time from seed. Bottom heat helps. I just plop them on some well draining seed starting mix and cover with saran wrap. They don't take long with light and heat.
